I have read that diamonds are connected by 4 covalent bonds to every other carbon atom. How is it that they can be seperated by physical means like cutting?

by cutting a diamond you are just breaking some of the carbon-carbon bonds. if you rub a diamond between your fingers, you will rub off some of the outer C atoms. but they are so small you wont be able to see them. the outside surface atoms are not connected by 4 covalent bonds, they will probably only be connected to 3 other atoms via 3 covalent bonds leaving an electron spare on the outer surface.
even in the middle the diamond might have some impurities, like a missing C atom, or an additional metal atom. it won’t be perfectly regular.
Think of it like a piece of wood – you are breaking some bonds to cut the wood, and the surface you reveal in the middle will be the same as the outer surfaces you had before.

I am looking at loose diamonds for a friends engangement ring. I keep coming accross listings for diamond parcels? Does that mean a group of diamonds or is it one stone?

A parcel of diamonds is exactly what it means. Basically a package of diamonds. When people are selling by the parcel they are selling diamonds in bulk. However, because of the high costs of diamonds and the fact that they’re small, bulk doesn’t mean pounds of the stuff, but maybe 50+ or 100+ carats of it. Diamonds that are sold by the parcel tend to be smaller. For example melees (small diamonds), or if they’re larger sizes then they’re usually commercial quality. But even the larger sizes are not commonly over 1.00 ct each in a parcel. You might find a parcel of 20 pointers which is 1/5 of a carat each. In your case they’re most likely hundreds if not thousands of small diamonds (a few points each) totalling a large sum of carats.
